BIG BANG will have a Japanese Tour for 90,000 People!

On the 2nd, BIGBANG announced they would be restarting activities in Japan after 8 months. They plan on releasing a new song in April and having an arena tour in May.

Since the release of “BEAUTIFUL HANGOVER” on August 25, 2010, all of the members have been focusing on solo activities in Korea. T.O.P (23) was awarded the best new actor award for “71: Into the Fire”, which will be in Japan starting on the 19th.

The group has been waiting for a good time to come back to Japan this year. The tour is expected to have 7 stops with 90,000 people in attendance. They are planning to surpass their first Japan tour last year, which 50,000 people came to. T.O.P enthusiastically said, “We want everyone to quickly see our power up”. Leader G-DRAGON (22) also commented, “Let’s have a fantastic year”.

In commemoration of the tour, all Uniqlo stores will begin selling collaboration T-shirts on the 5th.

[News] Big Bang announces Japan tour dates

Korean male idols Big Bang have announced the dates for their upcoming concert tour in Japan in May, according to their agency YG Entertainment on Monday.

YG announced in a press release that the boys will kick off their concert tour titled "Love & Pain Tour" in Japan with their first performance at the Osaka Castle Hall located in Osaka of Japan on May 10 and 11, followed by a series of shows at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba city from May 13 till 15, and at the Nippon Gaishi Hall in Nagoya on May 17 and 18.

The boys kicked off a promotional event in Japan last weekend with their "Big Bang Collaboration Teeshirt" which went on sale at popular clothing store Uniqlo.

Late last year, Yang Hyun-suk, CEO of YG Entertainment, announced that the group will be concentrating on their singing careers in Japan, holding their concert tour and promotional events in the country starting in May.

Composed of members G-Dragon, T.O.P, Seungri, Taeyang and Daesung, Big Bang was discovered and trained by major talenthouse YG Entertainment. They have released several albums and hit songs such as "Dirty Cash," "With U," "Lies" and "Haru Haru" since their debut in 2006.

The group successfully crossed over into the Japanese music market in June 2009 with their debut single "My Heaven" which reached No. 3 on the prestigious Oricon daily singles chart and toured three cities in the country which attracted a total of 60,000 fans.

The quintet have released other singles in Japan such as "Tell Me Goodbye" and "Beautiful Hangover" and performed on the main stage at the Summer Sonic Festival August last year and they have recently been focusing on their duo unit, mainly G Dragon and T.O.P -- and solo activities.

Official YG Japan Message to JVIPs regarding "Love & Hope 2011" Concert Tour

In Japan, a disaster that we've never experienced before happened and all of us are working hard right now for reconstruction. Many JVIPs were victims. Some people lost their families, friends, hometowns and valuable keepsakes. Some people even lost everything they have in their life because of the tsunami.

In this serious situation, we need “HOPE” to be able to rebuild as quickly as possible. With this in mind, we have decided to change the title of the tour (to Love & Hope) and carry on, on schedule. (See tour schedule here.)

Our favorite artists and their music have the power to make us forget some things and make us dream or bring us to an ideal world. Even if a concert only takes a couple of hours, we will be able to feel a big sense of happiness and pleasure.

We believe that this concert will give us power in confronting the severe realities we have to face and to change our future. We believe that dreams will come true if we think of a better future with BIGBANG and its FANs as ONE, having lots of HOPE. To pray for a good future, we want to share some precious time filled with LOVE and HOPE with everyone.

*All information regarding this tour will be announced once confirmed. Please wait for further announcements.

*We will carry out this concert with focus on safety and saving on electricity.

*At the moment, we have made sure that scheduled blackouts will not be done during the concert dates at Makuhari.

*LED, spotlights and other power supply that will be used will be from power supply cars that we will bring so the concert won't affect the power supply of the neighboring homes.

*We may save on electricity, for example, by turning down the lights at the lobby or not using escalators. We are asking for your full cooperation on this.

[iNFO] Manager Kim Boram tweeted about Love and Hope tour

big bang love&hope 明日からスタートでございます。大雨が来るみたいですが皆さん!!応援しにきてくださいね!!yfrog.com/h76hxxbj

I love this thread already ^^ The show is gonna start this afternoon, I hope that there will be tonssss of photos and fancams to share

Poor me, I'm a i-VIP fan and once again I miss their Live Concert. Don't know when I will be able to join their stage. If I couldn't, I can die without closing my eyes.

I'm very anticipated now because I think they will perform Tell me goodbye live. This is my most favorite song of Big Bang, although I also still love other songs. The concept, image and perf of this song is emotional, sorrow, the lyrics is so meaningful and the harmony is so smooth, bears vividly in my mind. I hope they have a successful tour in Japan.

I hope jVIPs will be generous this tour and give us lots of fanpics and fancams. we know how hard it is to get those when they have events in Japan.

or hopefully, some of their amazing kfansites will be sending out their reps in Japan and provide us some amazing fanpics and fancams as usual!!!

i believe in VIPs ninja power!

GOODLUCK BIGBANG!!!
